Xposé: Publican, Politician or Poof

For 21 years, The Peel Hotel in Collingwood has been a place of comfort, safety and exploration for many of Melbourne’s gay men. In this episode of Xposé: on Hide and Seek, Dean and James speak with the proprietor; a man loved and loathed, he has an opinion on everything, is never short for words and doesn’t mind ruffling a few feathers along the way. A jovial Scotsman who proudly calls Australia home, he made headlines around the world when the business was granted an exemption from the equal opportunity act, allowing The Peel to exclude heterosexuals; the first such exemption in the world based on sexuality and not gender. Join Dean and James as they explore the life and times of Mr. Tom McFeely.

This show, Episode #044 originally aired in November, 2009
